Nanami, short Japanese lesson scripts, from under ten minutes of audio
Nanami has the smallest record on the Japanese list: under ten minutes of training audio, a reading of ねずみの嫁入り, The Mouse's Wedding, in Kusuyama Masao's telling. That is why she is a C- with a B target quality. Our note gives her short lesson scripts, which is the length her record suggests.

Hear it
Three samples, three registers
- Listen for whether a lesson voice keeps an even shape a learner could copy.
- Listen for 三時間, a counter word a learner would be drilled on.
- Listen for the pause between the two sentences; at half speed it gets longer too.
On the record
Under ten minutes of audio, and the length that suits it
The published list marks her training duration with a warning: minutes, and few of them. The grade follows. It says nothing about the sound, and the samples are the only way to judge that, but it is a reason to keep scripts short.
Short lesson scripts are single sentences a learner repeats, read once and clearly. The speed slider goes down to half speed with the pitch unchanged, and the sentence-level subtitles double as the script to read along with.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences; very short lines are the weak spot and very long ones can rush.
Where we would use it
Lesson lines, drills, and read-along practice
Slow practice
Set the speed to 0.5 for shadowing; the pitch stays where it is and the subtitles still line up.
Vocabulary with readings
Give a rare reading with the Pronounce as tag so the learner hears the kana you intend.

Blend Nanami with any second voice
A fixed sample at this mix, rendered once and cached. No credits used.
Every blend works the same way: the first voice sets the pronunciation and pacing, the second voice lends only its timbre, and you choose the ratio between 10 and 90 percent. See the three steps on the voice library page

FAQ
Questions about Nanami
Why is Nanami graded C-?
Under ten minutes of training audio, the smallest amount on the Japanese list. The grade measures that, not how she sounds.
Can learners slow her down?
Yes, to half speed with the pitch unchanged. Sentence-level subtitles come with every job, so the text is there to read along.
How do I make her read a rare kana reading?
Wrap the word in the Pronounce as tag and type the kana. The kanji stays in the subtitles; the voice reads your kana.
What does the source, The Mouse's Wedding, tell me?
Only what she was trained on: a reading of the folk tale as told by Kusuyama Masao. It is a fact from the published list, not a description of her tone.
